Magic Injury Report:

John Denton - Doubtful (sore throat)


Some actual notes:

- Kyrie Irving enters the game just 2-14 shooting 3s and 17-50 shooting overall. Think we can help him out of his slump?

- Marcus Smart is 2-8 shooting 3s so far, which is pretty Marcus Smart-esque. Except against the Magic. In his career against the Magic, he is 20-54 (37%). Combining percentage with volume, it's fair to say that he's shot better against the Magic than any other team.

- With Aron Baynes out, that may open up minutes for guys like Daniel Theis and/or Guershon Yabusele. Amazingly, Yabusele has failed to score against the Magic in the 11 minutes he has played against us. I like his chances to get on the board.

Only John Denton would mention Vuc and Wilt Chamberlain in the same sentence.

Both of those guys are clearly joking in those tweets.

Let's Go Magic!

Nice pass AG

Dj and Fournier are infuriating on drives

Isaac looking more assertive. Like Anthony said, he is still not physically ready. Probably another year away from getting an NBA body.

Vuc is playing well again.

Nikeem Olajevic

DJ is such a frustrating player to watch

AG and Isaac were both open on the perimeter and Fournier throws up a reverse layup lol. At least Isaac played it well

3 from Isaac. This is a beautiful offensive game so far from him.

The energy has been good but can they sustain it?

Vuc is looking active and aggressive early and it’s workijg out!!

JI coming out party!

Lets go JI!!!

Fournier still can’t see anyone. DJ might be worse. Our starting backcourt lol

Isaac getting going

If DJ didn't pass it to him on the three there I was gonna throw my laptop.

Somehow had to dribble once, wait a second, then pass it so the guy could close in.

But Isaac made it.
